Description:

Integrating Prevention through Design (PtD) concepts into business processes helps reduce injury and illness in the workplace, as well as costs associated with injuries. PtD lays the foundation for a sustainable culture of safety with lower workers' compensation expenses, fewer retrofits, and improved productivity. When PtD concepts are introduced early in the design process, resources can be allocated more efficiently. Exposure to high noise levels in the workplace can cause hearing loss and affect worker productivity and compensation costs. This document describes case studies in which noise controls were implemented that reduced worker noise exposure. NIOSH recommends considering PtD concepts and incorporating engineering noise controls during the project design phase of processes and operations.
